Detailed Description:
The mortality of chronic heart failure patients remains high, in spite of current treatment. RhNRG-1(recombinant human neuregulin-1)directly work on the cardiomyocyte and restored the normal structure and function of it. Both the preclinical trial and phase II clinical trail have confirmed that rhNRG-1 effectively enhance the heart function, reverse the remodeling of left ventricular, and reduce all-cause mortality in heart failure animals and humans. In this phase III study, the investigators will further confirm the efficacy of rhNRG-1 in reducing the death rate of heart failure.
Eligibility| Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 75 Years (Adult, Senior) |
| Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
| Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age between 18 and 75, both sex.
- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)≤40% (ECHO).
- NYNA functional class II OR III.
- Diagnosed as chronic systolic heart failure (history, symptoms, signs), no in-hospital history in the last one month.
- Receiving standard therapy for chronic heart failure, reach target dose or max tolerable dose for one month, or has not changed the dose for the last one month.
- Capable of signing the informed consent form.
Exclusion Criteria:
- new chronic heart failure patients, or patients receiving standard therapy on chronic heart failure for less than 3 months.
- NYNA functional class I OR IV.
- Patients with acute MI, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, constrictive pericarditis, significant valvular pathological change or congenital heart diseases, primary or secondary severe pulmonary artery hypertension.
- Ischemic heart failure without recanalization or with recanalization in recent six months.
- acute MI in the last 3 months.
- unstable angina.
- Patients with acute pulmonary edema or acute hemodynamic disorder.
- Chronic heart failure patients with acute hemodynamic disorder or acute decompensation in the last 1 month.
- Patients with right heart failure caused by pulmonary disease.
- Patients diagnosed with pericardial effusion or pleural effusion, or evidenced by B-type ultrasonic (>50ml).
- Cardiac surgery or cerebrovascular accident within recent six months.
- Preparing for heart transplantation or CRT, or has received CRT.
- Serious ventricular arrhythmia (multi-morphological premature ventricular contraction more than 5 times/min, frequent paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia or triple rate).
- Serious hepatic or renal dysfunction (Cr＞2.0mg/dl, AST or ALT 5 times above the normal upper limit).
- Serum potassium <3.2 mmol/L or >5.5 mmol/L.
- Systolic blood pressure <90mmHg or >160mmHg.
- Pregnant or plan to pregnant.
- Patients who participated in any clinical trial in the recent three months.
- Subject with a life expectancy less than 6 months as assessed by the investigator.
- Serious nervous system diseases (Alzheimer's disease, advanced Parkinsonism),lower limb defects, or deaf-mute.
- History of any malignancy or suffering from cancer,or biopsy proven pre-malignant condition (eg DICS or cervical atypia).
- Evidence (physical examination,CXR,ECHO or other tests) shows some active malignancy or adenoidal hypertrophy or neoplasm has effect on heart function or endocrine system, eg pheochromocytoma or hyperthyroidism.
- Judging by the investigator, the patients could not complete the study or adhere to the study requirements (due to the management reasons or others).
